Poems from book

Spine's cover was letter-pressed in-house by the printer and publisher, Gaspereau Press.

[Press’s] ultra-clear diction and satirical reading-twixt-lines recall Margaret Atwood, but Press has more whimsy and less menace.

— George Elliott Clarke, Halifax Chronicle-Herald

Spine was shortlisted for the Pat Lowther Memorial Award

Throughout the collection, Press expresses something of the complicated relationship with books that every reader experiences – namely, that the need to read is always shaded by the suspicion that reading is simply another form of escape from living.
